Martin, 34 years old, is from the region of Cucirisne in Nicaragua. He is a father of two children aged 7 and 11 years old, and he is dedicated to planting corn and wheat. He also has cows which allows him to sell milk. When the crops are low, he leaves the country to work picking coffee. Everything that he grows he sells in the same region. Today, he is requesting this loan to buy wire, staples and pay labor to help him repair his pasture fences. Martin says that the loan will be helpful because at this time he does not have the money needed for the maintenance and cleaning of his animals.

Elon Microfinance Initiative helped Martin fund his farming business with a $25 loan in February 2014.
